The Sun's restaurant reviewer wrote:
" Smith's, ......hasn't been open long, but even in the middle of the week it's packed. And with a particularly desirable sort of clientele, which is dropped off out front by Jaguars and Bentleys, and which one overhears in the dining room talking about the golf courses they're buying."

It's nice to know exactly what kind of customers the Sun's reviewer thinks are "desirable" in a Greenwich Village restaurant. The artists, writers, filmmakers, graphic designers, professors, the people who always gave the Village its character, its texture, its edge, but who are not rich enough to buy golf courses, those people are apparently no longer "desirable" in the nouveau riche world of the Nouveau Village. Sadly, by publishing a review like this, the Sun seems to have embraced this undesirable change.
